Mostostal Warszawa will build the Słodowiec Metro station as part of the Bielany section of the Warsaw subway. According to a zł.93.36-million contract the company signed with PRG Metro/PeBeKa, which is the general contractor behind the investment, the works are scheduled for completion by September 2007.

As a result of this contract and previous orders from Metro Warszawskie, Mostostal Warszawa will construct the next two stations - Stare Bielany and Wawrzyszew - as well as the tunnels between them. The contract for the two latter stations is worth zł.217.7 million and work is due for completion in October 2007.

Stare Bielany and Wawrzyszew stations and the tunnels joining them constitute the longest part of the Bielany section of the Metro. "Warsaw is undergoing a huge investment boom, and the construction of the Bielany Metro section is one of the leading investments in the city," said the acting mayor, Mirosław Kochalski.
